This year’s ALD celebration/demonstration theme is “Build the A-APRP (GC): the Inheritor and Continuator of the Revolutionary Theory and Practice of Kwame Nkrumah, Sekou Toure, and Kwame Ture! “ The A-APRP (GC) is a small but struggling revolutionary Pan-Africanist party with the aspirations to organize the scattered and suffering African masses living and struggling in over 125 countries worldwide, under the banner of Pan-Africanism; correctly defined by Kwame Nkrumah as “the total liberation and unification of Africa under scientific socialism”.

Our ALD 2010 activities include a Pan-African and International Symposium on Saturday morning from 10:00 am – 1:30 pm at St. Stephens Episcopal Church located at 1525 Newton Street NW, Washington, D.C.
